IMPROVEMENT IN WASH-BOILERS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN T. MAXsoN, of De Witt, in the county of Clintonand in the State of Iowa, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in' VVash-Boilers; and do hereby declare that the followingis' a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying p drawing and to the letters ofV reference `markedthereon making a part of this specification. l

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a washboiler,77 as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to' enable others skilled in the art to which myinventionappertains to make and luse the same, I will nowr proceed to describeits construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, inwhich Figure Il isa longitudinal vertical section of my wash-boiler,and. Fig. f2 is a transverse vertical section of the boiler, showing` aside View of the cylinder within the same. i

t, A represents a boiler ofany suitable size and shape, within which isplaced a revolving cylinder constructed in the following manner. Thecircumference of the two heads B B is out, as shown in Fig. l, in theshape of long and curved teeth, to which are secured the plates orsections C (l, connecting the heads together, and thus forming thecylinder. `It will be noticed that, from the shape of` the edges ofA r.`inder. Upon' the inner side of each head B is placed a series of ribs,D D,radiating from .tion of a crank, G, by means of which the cylinderis revolved. One ofthe sections O ofthe cylinder is hinged, forming adoor tothe same, through which the clothes are putin and taken out.

Having thus fully described my invention, l

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A cylinder for washing-machines, composed of the heads B B, sectionsG C, and concave ribs D Dand Dl D', all constructed and arrangedsubstantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. In combination with a wash-boiler, A, I,

claim the heads B B, sections O O, ribs D D', journals a a, bearings bb, and crank G, all constructed and arranged substantially as and p forthe purposes herein set forth.
